Mourning Senator Lugar

Richard Lugar was mayor of Indianapolis before he was elected to the Senate in 1976. He would go on to serve for 36-years, and was a highly regarded Republican foreign policy expert who, along with former Senator Sam Nunn, spearheaded a program that dismantled thousands of former Soviet nuclear weapons after the Cold War. He died last month and today numerous national leaders and several hundred mourners gathered for his funeral. He will be remembered as a peacemaker and a man whose contributions to our nation are countless.
